I've thought about crashing a Tea Party or two myself. Go in, shut my mouth, and take some notes. I've heard a hell of a lot about these guys, and I even know a couple, but I haven't really observed them.

Will be attending the local Tea Party on April 15th. Only thing I'll be carrying is Pepper Spray. Hard to agitate when you can't see.

James, there's no "crashing" a Tea Party gathering. One attends. There is no invitation list, no screening criteria, no doormen. You show up, you're in. Welcome.

But you really oughta do it. See what all the fuss is about. It's the most remarkable cross-section of America in a long time.

Including, yes, some nutjobs.

But American nonetheless.

JT what is this ..."As someone who generally favors the Tea Party movement..."
Have they provoked you? Committed crimes? Trashed their protest areas?
I admire thyese people and find your conditional approval a sack of err palosi

Jay Tea:

Reminds me of a couple MoveOn things I went to a few years ago. At one of them, we went around the room for introductions, and everybody said something along the lines of "I'm so-and-so, and I have NEVER voted for a Republican!" Given my relative undercover nature, I had to restrain myself from saying, "I'm James, and I'll vote for a Republican if I damn well please, thank you very much."

Did I mention I'm contrary? And really really cranky at times?

When a Tea Party gets near enough to my neck of the woods out in the middle of nowhere I will attend.

"Hard to agitate when you can't see"

The Gateway Pundit decided that the man who flew a plane into the IRS building was a Leftist because one of his Facebook friends was Facebook friends with PETA. That sort of thing is just par for the course over there. It's sad.

I'm convinced his blog is run by the DHS and is employing the Flypaper Theory.

What are you trying to say Adrian? You don't like leftists being accused of terrorism? Or ideologically connected?

Some thoughts..

No matter how well behaved the Tea Party protesters are, if just one does anything inappropriate, expect it to make the news.

Expect an infiltrator to shout the n word and claim to be a repub/tea partier.

What's really ironic to me is this.
The announcement is from Infoshop news.
They are concerned that "If the tea party movement takes over this country they will really hurt poor people by getting rid of social programs like food stamps, unemployment benefits, disability benefits, student aid, free health care, etc"
Infoshop news calls itself "anarchic news. opinion and much more"
Gotta love it. Anarchic news is concerned about losing govt programs.

What are you trying to say Adrian?

But it only appears when he does, so I'm skeptical of his claim.

"...and I have a very loud and very bad singing voice."---jt

I dont

This is bizarre. Why would "anarchists" support the fascist, total-government, pro_Obama side over the traditional American, pro-liberty side? When did "anarchists" start to think "social programs like food stamps, unemployment benefits, disability benefits, student aid, free health care, etc." are good things?

These people aren't anarchists at all they are just typical leftist/Marxists. It's funny how many names they come up with for themselves that are an antithesis to that for which they really stand.

Adrain,

If you go the The Smoking Gun and read this wacko's screed you will see that it is anti-religion, anti-capitalist, anti-GWBush and closes with a criticism of capitalism compared to communism.

Since communists are generally referred to as being on the left, this guy fall on that end of the political spectrum. Sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative. You will note that the MSM swept this one away quickly because they couldn't paint a story of a right wing racist striking out at Obama. Instead it was just a disturbed lefty who represented people in need of psychiatric attention.

BTW, Happy Obama Voters' Day, James, Adrian, & Bryan.

"DO NOT bring weapons to the rallies."

I bring 2 hands and 2 feet!! They are all I need.

"These people aren't anarchists at all they are just typical leftist/Marxists. "

Indeed. These are just people for whom the anarchists of history are "cool". They don't subscribe to any coherent political philosophy except for being anti-capitalist and anti-US.

How about even a dull wit? Isn't that a weapon?

How about even a dull wit? Isn't that a weapon?

Film EVERYTHING you can when you go! Don't just film speakers, film the crowd and especially anybody lurking around looking out of place.

I'll be attending the big rally in Sacramento...and plan to take as much video as I can. Even if 0% of it turns out to be necessary, you just never know.

The Left WILL try to infiltrate and when they do they WILL agitate!

Cheney @18 wins the thread!

Some assholes, if they push hard enough, are going to get their asses stomped into the dirt.

Fine with me. The assholes are going to find ways to make the Tea Parties look bad no matter what actually happens. If no real incidents occur, they'll simply make some up. We may as well be prepared for real incidents, and make sure that if any occur, it's the assholes who come off second best. They set the rules. They created a system where violence is an effective political argument. Maybe it's time they learned what that really means, first-hand.

I might go to one, but not if it's held on Guam.

"How about even a dull wit? Isn't that a weapon?"

Yes, look at the destruction Barry has wrought on us all.

Dull wit? Is that comparable to a Dim wit? Or the difference between Nancy and Barry?

It makes more sense to me when I see them described as "assholes," violence-for-violence's sake guys. Because the MSM headlines about anarchists trying to disrupt a Tea Party protest made no sense to me. I mean, both groups are for less government.

Actually, the "anarchists" are against the Tea Party folks because the latter are seen as endangering entitlements.

Inigo Montoya would really like to have a word with these "anarchists."

Re" it'll be spun to make the Tea Parties look bad"

They will regardless even if the MSM and liberals have to make things up.

Weapons? Are you nuts?

There is no need for weapons. Leftists are only violent in a mob. Individually and in small, outnumbered groups they are just pantywaists. Stomp your foot at them and watch them scurry away like the rodents are.

"Anarchists" worried about "poor people losing government benefits"? F' shizzle? Some people will go to any length to describe themselves as something other than what they are - in that respect, they emulate Obama.

"There is no need for weapons. Leftists are only violent in a mob. Individually and in small, outnumbered groups they are just pantywaists. Stomp your foot at them and watch them scurry away like the rodents are"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...A precise observation as usual.

I received my Ohio carry permit last year, so please do not advise me not to exercise my right to protect my family. I grew up in a union household (teamsters) and am well aware of their potential for destruction and harm whenever they feel threatened or simply want to take more of your life.

A peaceful person I am, as well a defender of my God, family and country.

Shut up pansyD

"If no real incidents occur, they'll simply make some up."

Or do it themselves and point fingers elsewhere. Take, for instance, the recent Tea Party gathering in Searchlight, Nevada. They threw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus and then tried to blame it on, of all people, Andrew Breitbart, when the cops showed up. He just happened to be there and got it all on video. Think we'll be hearing from our illustrious Dem Congress condemning these violent left-wingers? Naw. Of course not. They were largely union thugs and that's their base.

The "violent anarchist" quoted in the link recommends 3 options:

1. Counter-protest. While he does call for these counter-protests to be "same time, same place," he doesn't mention confrontation, violence, or "infiltration," just counter-protest.
2. Passing out leaflets to try to get tea partiers to change their minds. Ooooh, scary!
3. Ignoring the Tea Parties, which he calls the "worst option."

What am I missing? the "infiltrating" part? The "violent" part? The "sabotaging" part? The "assholes" part?

Trick question. I'm missing ALL those parts, because the "anarchist" (that IS funny, an anarchist championing government programs!) IS NOT CALLING FOR THOSE THINGS!

Sounds to me like he's calling for like-minded individuals to get together and exercise their freedom of speech. You got a problem with that?

I'm convinced his blog is run by the DHS and is employing the Flypaper Theory.
~Adrian Browne

Don't worry about it, Adi.
I already reported you to DHS.
They're probably watching you right now, through you own computer.

"What am I missing? the "infiltrating" part? The "violent" part? The "sabotaging" part? The "assholes" part?"

Take 4 and call us in the morning

BH - "What am I missing? the "infiltrating" part? The "violent" part? The "sabotaging" part? The "assholes" part?"

You're missing the part about anarchists having a long history of destructive behavior. Guess you forgot, or ignore all meetings of the WTO and IMF/World Bank that draw anarchists like flies to shit.

And they aren't exactly peaceful.

Re # 37:

You got a point there, Marc (there's a first time for everything, I guess), but it seems like this particular "asshole", to use Mr Tea's colorful term, would have called for confrontation if that was what he was seeking. Eh, maybe not, but this report hardly seems like something worth peeing your pants over.

"Sounds to me like he's calling for like-minded individuals to get together and exercise their freedom of speech. You got a problem with that?"

No, but from everything you've evah posted on here it is clear you do.

Bruce feigning ignorance AGAIN. The anarchists are really just peaceful children wanting the world to know what they think is wrong with it. The maskes, breaking windows, looting, throwing things at cops, etc. is just innocent fun. Way to go Bruce. You win the: "I will defend the indefensible because they don't like conservatives" award. By a landslide. ww

"Bruce feigning ignorance AGAIN"

He aint feigning, its in the blood.

I'll be in Trenton. I used to box for fun. My hands ain't as fast as they used to be but I will have two rolls of quarters.

Bring it you wormy little anarchist shitweasels. It's time to get down to it.

(Jay Tea if you feel the need to ban hammer me, you know for implied violence, no hard feelings.)

Not ignorant of anarchist history. But this particular "anarchist" (I doubt he even knows what the term means, given his concern about food stamps, etc.) is calling for counter-protest, leaflet distribution, or denial.

That's hardly indefensible, Willie.

Dictionary definition: "Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy."

as opposed to modern leftist anarchism: A lifestyle chosen by young people of limited mental capacity latching on to a historical movement that makes them sound cool and sophisticated while providing them an excuse to riot and loot and exempts them from having to make any contribution to society. Modern leftist anarchists frequently live in the homes of their parents or off of government subsidies while railing against the control of the state or the repressive nature of the traditional family.

Keep digging Bruce. Only you would presume to know this man's motivation and plans. All we dumb conservatives do is see what they have done in the past and apply it to what they would do now. Golly! You is so smart. ww

The Anarchists will probably be wearing Che or Mao t-shirt so they won't be hard to pick out of the crowd. They will also be sporting a hammer and sickle flag.

Actually, some Dem strategist recently said the right is using Alinsky's tactics against the Dems and by golly, gee whiz it's working!

Apparently the Dems truly are the bullies on the playground - and as typical, they run for cover behind their mother's apron when they get slapped back.

BH - "You got a point there, Marc (there's a first time for everything, I guess)"

Yeah some point, so "pointed" all you're left with is a childish retort. FOAD

", but it seems like this particular "asshole", to use Mr Tea's colorful term, would have called for confrontation if that was what he was seeking."

Or perchance this particular asshole is a bit smarter than you and didn't publish his entire game plan.

Ya, know to look less of an asshole. To blend in. To give a false sense of security to those people he would infiltrate.

Strategic/tactical planning is obviously far above your pay grade.

Hmmm,ya think that if he had said to riot that someone could have saved a screen shot and that would come back to bite him in the arse. I agree with you Marc.

Have to disagree with the "do not bring weapons" meme. How many townhalls at which weapons were in clear sight, had any leftists start trouble? Remarkable how quiet a bunch of spineless, left wing talkers get when confronted by a conservative carrying a shotgun. Indeed, there WERE no "confrontations" at any of these events. The decades of intimidation directed by left wingers at actual Americans must come to an end. These people are working to destroy/take over our nation and constitutional rights. It ain't BEAN BAG when those are at stake!!! At least it had better not be. Time to find out just how "serious" the left is about its agenda when faced with armed Americans defending their country and liberty.

I think I'll be taking the day off just in hopes these morons show up and try something stupid...

My take on it is similar to the 67 yr old guy that kicked that kids butt on the bus. IF they do some provoking, with all the video around the evidence of provocation will be perfect, and the asshole that gets owned will be needing an amberlamps.
